This blog is NOT DEAD.
It might be lifeless at the moment, but let me reassure you, it is far from finished.
I probably won't be able to recap everything that has happened in the last 5 weeks, so here's a brief summary:
Week 1:
On Sunday, I flew back to UK.. Checked into my room and surprisingly I wasn't charged at all.. Free accommodation for a week! Alhamdulillah..
Week 2:
Helped the Malaysian freshers settle in, although A and M probably did most of the work :P Attended a meeting with the Athletic Union for chess club and went to a briefing for my job the following week..
Week 3:
Freshers Week! Became a JumpStart helper on Monday.. The guys in my group were awesome and we had loads of fun.. Then from Tuesday to Friday, I worked as a student helper on the buses.. To me, it was the easiest job in the world.. Whenever I get on the bus, I usually sit next to the drivers and talk.. This time around, the only difference is that in between talking to them, I had to scream out places of interest every now and then.. And I'm getting paid! I even went on Gary's bus for four hours.. Good fun :D Then I also helped out the chess club's bunfight stall.. Had a huge misunderstanding with the people in charge and we almost argued but in the end, it all went well..
Week 4:
First week of lectures.. Second year's horrible.. I've definitely got my work cut out for me :S Also had our Malaysian society's Meet and Greet event which didn't turn out the way we expected.. There was a mad dash for food by the 150-strong crowd and we totally lost control of the event which unfortunately marred the whole thing :(
Week 5:
Second week of lectures.. Starting to get the hang of things now.. On the first day of Eid, I woke up late so subsequently went for my Raya prayers late.. Then I had a maths test where I made a stooopid blunder on an easy question.. After that, I lost my student ID (and basically my whole life because all my cards were with it).. In the afternoon, I went to work for a careers fair and proceeded to do some heavy lifting in my high-heels.. Then at night, when I went for chess club, I totally forgot to bring the locker room keys with me so we had to wait for another committee member to bring them in.. So after doing all this for 13 hours in heels, you could probably imagine the state of my poor feet.. Sigh.. But I fully understand that all the misfortune happened due to my own negligence, so I can't really complain..
Obviously, a lot more stuff happened in between, but I can't do justice to them in a single post.. If there is something worth mentioning, I probably will in the next few posts..
Oh, before I forget..
SELAMAT HARI RAYA! Maaf zahir dan batin :)
P/S: Happy birthday, Farah Inani!!! :D
